The answer is X=8
15^2+b^2=17^2

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the variables a and b in the formula are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. So that means that 15 and x are the legs and 17 is the hypotenuse. Plug those numbers where they go in the formula like below:

15^2+x^2=17^2

Go ahead and square the 15 and 17 to simplify it a little.

225+x^2=289

Now, get the x by itself by subtracting 225 from each side

x^2=64

Take the square root of each side to remove the squared on x and solve.

x=8

Rewrite in standard form identify the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms
Alenkasestr [34]

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = y

Basically, you put all the numbers from greatest to least with exponents then variables.

We have the numbers:

9

-x²

2x^5

-7x

Put these numbers from least to greatest from the exponents.

2x^5 - x² - 7x + 9

The degree of the polynomial is the number with the greatest exponent. In this case, the highest exponent is 5.

The degree of the polynomial is 5.

Best of Luck!

In one region, the september energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean
tatyana61 [14]
The probability would be 0.1971.

We will calculate a z-score for each end of this interval.

z = (X-μ)/σ

For the lower limit:
z = (1100-1050)/218 = 50/218 = 0.23

For the upper limit:
z = (1225-1050)/218 = 175/218 = 0.80

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area under the curve to the left of, less than, the lower limit is 0.5910.  The area under the curve to the left of, less than, the upper limit is 0.7881.  To find the area between them, we subtract:

0.7881 - 0.5910 = 0.1971
